1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

That's the one. The Sequoia used to be a massive vehicle with a lot of interior room (lives up to its namesake), but now its a lot more compact. There is still room but it's nowhere what it used to be. It's the same for the newest generation Land Cruisers. They're more comparable to a Bronco than they are the GX/LX models as they used to be.

 

I have ladder racks on mine. You can load it by yourself if you can lift the canoe up on the back bar. You can see the racks in my profile pick and I will load a better picture from my phone on edit.

 

Today is mustang madness day. Stereo upgrade

 

I clicked on this Vic for sale just to look at it. Found something cool in the background.

 

The problem is that the 2021 or older GX have a really outdated interior. If I'm gonna pay $25-30k for a "new vehicle", I don't want one that looks like it's from 2012 inside.

But saving $10k is also hard to ignore. They drop from $60k for 2-3 years old to $20k if you're willing to go 10 years old.

Looks fine to me, but about 10 years too new for my liking.

 

Sounds like a good problem to have.
Who needs WiFi and a big screen TV on their dash?

 

Different strokes. It's not the features I care about as much as the looks. It's a very dated interior that they basically didn't change from 2010 to 2022ish.

 

That's why I'm a big fan of the LC70. a 2025 that still looks and functions as a 25-year-old vehicle

 

You say "dated", I say "too new."
Old fashioned as in good.

Someone needs to bring back thin steering wheels & steel dashes. Lap belts & 1 piece benches.

 

Probably not the best of ideas.

Offense is the best defense.

 

Are our longtubes tuned for flow pulses or just made ‘to fit’?


Swap cams & run motorcycle carbs on the exhaust ports?

 

It’s Toyota we know it’s going to be dated. It saved us about 10k from a 22 model and we still got adaptive cruise control. Ours also has the red guts, updated cluster, and facelift. We did purchase a lower mileage CPO though so we paid 42ish before ttl.

 

No, you can't do that... you can't triple stamp a double stamp, you can't triple stamp a double stamp! Lloyd!

 

Whats dated?

i dig my mid 70’s lamps. & 30’s cast iron night tables.


And have a stereo & mirror ‘hall tree’? From the 50’s


Even dated, arent they cool as shit?

That music is great. I can hear the crooner snapping his fingers and singing away....

"yooooou just got, hit by a truck
aaaaand, now you are fucked
The steering wheel went through your head,
aaaaaand now you are dead....
Neeeeext time yooooou'll, know what to do....


Should have bought a Malibuuuuuuu!!!!"

 

No flashback to Driver’s Ed films like Mechanized Death or Highway of Agony?

Do we like with side steps or without better?

 

personally, without. looks SHARP

 

W/O

 

Without those. But some sliders with steps integrated would be dope. And 1000% not chrome.

 

Whoever authorized this test should be severely punished for doing that to a classic car.

 

Leave them on. bang it up on a rock and tell the wife you need new ones and just get sliders because you found some cool "indestructible steps"

 

I hope this post finds you well. I've procured three separate solutions at three different price points. I trust you see the value for each solution. Please see attached.

Best, Mr. Serious Hat
